This example demonstrates a sphere deflated until reaching equilibrium, resembling the shape of a red blood cell.
The deflation results from a reduced target volume, which is smaller than that of a sphere with the same equilibrium area. This behavior is modeled through a surface tension represented by Kelvin-Voigt elements. Due to their dissipative nature, these elements drive the system toward a new equilibrium configuration that minimizes the total energy.
